About me

Dr. Amanda Ecker specializes in providing gynecologic care for women of all ages. She has advanced training in laparoscopic surgery and is able to treat a variety of conditions including fibroids, heavy periods, pelvic pain, endometriosis and ovarian masses with small incisions. She feels that it is important to offer these services so that patients can have the shortest recovery and the most minimal impact to their daily lives. She takes pride in developing personalized treatment plans, working together with every patient to allow her to regain control of her health and improve her quality of life.



After living in Pittsburgh for six years to complete her training, she was ready to move back to Oregon, her home state. When not at the hospital, Dr. Ecker enjoys spending time with her family, running, hiking, kayaking and traveling. She also enjoys gardening, baking and is something of a foodie.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
